'1 he State Comptroller's second report, exhibiting the unsuccessful working of the present revenue sya teui. has been laid before our Legislature. The Board of Ijuid Commissioners is quietly pro ceeding with business in this city. An important opinion of the majority, touching tho question of the rijrht of contesting claimants to the ?uuie travt of land, to intervene in tho suit brought for Confir mation of title I* v one or the oth*.r, Wat delivered by Judge Hall, on Thursday last. Five elipi'c ships have arrived in our harbor ???nee the sailing of the last, mail steamer: ?

Tho money market coKiparatively ea'y in all tho great Atlantic e;.t;<s, and with go< d security money is obtainable at fair rate-.: ti e panic has died oil' ? not beenre moved to < 'alifornia. Our money marker, slnee the steamer of the 1st inst., has been unusually quiet ? no extraordinary demand ? and the rate of i'ntere-t rather tending downward than otherwise, fin prime security, short time, siy sixty days to four month-, money can be obtained at three per cent per month. Six month? ago five per cent was considered a very fair rate. The fact is, no safe and prudent man can now pay over three ]>er cent on money, for any opera tion: and it is very questionable whether the majority of our l-UMjie-s men could afford, in the regular course of trade, to pay even so much as three per cent r.er month interest on their capital. Neither City nor state securities are much in favor at present. Affecting tho former, the late change in city officer*, and the uncertainty as to the course the new officials intend pursuing, may be stated as the most prominent cause. Should their adminis tration prove economical, we see no reason why city bonds should not improve; always provided the Legislature give us a fair chance, which they do not seem disposed to do with the State creditors. Already they have made themselves preferred, and r ho State warrants, both fundable and unfundablo, feel rhe influence "f the $ 120,000 in cash which the member^ teem determined on appropriating for their per diem and mileage. The message of the Gover nor. placing the indebtedness at $2,242,339 7-1. has injuriously affected the credit of our state. True, one million of this is an estimated amount, ? the cost of haif a dozen Indian expeditions; and true, too, that the committee to w hom the Senate referred the statement of the Governor, report an overesti mate of about ftiSo.lMtO: yet even if this latter re ptrt be correct, we findoursclve.- more thau a million ai d a half dollars in debt. If. a? is confidently expe -ted. the general govern ni'-nt should assume our Inditui war debt, and jaiy us the duties collected here by the military govern ment. California would then be able to pay her ex penses. and the interest ou the balance due the State creditors. By tlu.
